What kind of company is Shell?

It’s simple. We create value by cutting costs and jobs and buying back stock. This will work until the end of time and nothing else is needed. We are an infinite bottomless revenue machine. As soon as we own all of the float we go infinite.

Will Wael ever stop his share buy backs.
